While I think this a positive step to take, I do have a major issue with the article.
A disciplinary panel voted to expel four football players and suspend two others for their roles in an alleged Sept. 2 sexual assault of a woman in an off-campus apartment. A high school recruit also had sex with the woman, according to an investigative report.
At no point does the article acknowledge that 4 players were falsely accused.
So some non scholarship guy that they talk onto the men's rowing team as freshman because they need warm bodies has to live on campus to participate?

Likely to be ALL. Consider one of the accused (later vindicated) was a major contributor to the start of said event, was a walk-on freshman .Just guessing...it is scholarship athletes or it wii be amended to be. No statistics but we are/were a very big commuter campus. Likely a big group of minor sports kids who live at home or in some house with 12 others on the cheap.

I'm amazed we have crime in this country. I'm amazed we have car accidents. I'm amazed we have people spending more than they earn. I'm amazed we don't have academic excellence in 100% of students. Clearly, the answer is more "hey, don't do that" training rather than accepting a certain percent of the public has one or more of: ingrained sociopathic tendencies, mental instability, poor impulse control, or inability to practice delayed gratification despite years of parental, teacher, societal, and law enforcement admonition.

Ya, obviously the solution is just say the hell with it, since any attempt to help people is such an imposition on your precious libertarian freedoms. All those wasted years--oh, why can't they be superior like me?
Culture change.

Culture change my ass. It's already a thing - most of the freshman athletes do live on campus.
More smoke and mirrors from the Coyle and Kaler comedy klub.
Glad to see at least a couple of regents seem to get that the only thing that changed is the coach. That's not enough.
Won't miss either one of these clowns.
Yep. There's a bunch of posters here who think Coyle is hitting on all cylinders... and the BoR are either country bumpkins or clueless, and just a rubber stamp for Kaler. I give the BoR much more credit...the members who've spoken publicly know exactly what they are doing. Most of the comments have been directed squarely at Kaler, sending the message that they are questioning his leadership.
Beetlejuice. Right on cue.

My dog whistle continues to work amazingly good...
No one accused was a walk-on freshman.
I agree that the Regents, at least some of them are on to Kaler and Coyle and Kaler is in deep trouble. Many of the these Kaler issues may be unrelated to the football mess.
I heard Dean Johnson speak to Dan B on KFAN, and his comments were incoherent, not very consistent, and generally terrible, but that says more about Dean's ability to clearly convey his thoughts. I think the whole debacle did not sit well with Dean Johnson either, and he has a bigger problem with Kaler than he did with Claeys as obtuse and clownish as we seemed on the radio. Dean is no dummy, just no master or PR and public speaking.
If Dean has had it then there probably are several other regents that are on board with him and more fired up than dean. If I were Kaler, I'd be packing boxes, and if I were Coyle, I'd be kissing ass and distancing myself from EK.
To all the shortsided people who want Coyle fired, I hope you don't like Fleck either. Because if you think Fleck is likely to stick around after the man who hired him gets fired, you're crazy. If Fleck has success here, our biggest hope of keeping him here long term is if Coyle is here long term.
